Your oil pump is probably dead.

Hopefully your bearings didn't get damaged.

You'll need to replace your oil pump

And could you rephrase that? I'm not understanding that you were saying.You put in 3 quarts and it sensed you???

Sorry about that. I meant that I put 3 quarts after the oil sensor was on. I drove the car about another 25 miles after that and nothing happened to my engine but the sensor wouldn't go off and my engine was ok but still making that noise. I don't know if there's oil pressure but I don't have a gauge and don't really know about mechanics.
